Description

The only style manual ever to appear on bestseller lists has explained to millions of readers the basic principles of plain English. The book's mantra - make every word tell - is still on point. Whether seventeen or seventy, this much-loved classic, now in its fourth edition, will forever be the go-to guide when in need of a hint on how to make a turn of phrase clearer, or a reminder on how to enliven prose with the active voice. Kalman's exquisite illustrations give the revered work a jolt of new energy, making the learning experience more colourful and clear. The Elements of Style Illustrated will come to be known as the definitive, must-have edition.


Review: "So friendly, so classic, so delightful . . . Kalman has taken 'the little book' and made it even more elegant and uplifting." -Los Angeles Times

"While The Elements of Style has never lacked fans or dutiful adherents, appreciation for this slim volume has taken a turn toward the whimsical and even surreal." -The New York Times

"The pictures are playful and subtle, which suits the spirit of this beloved bestseller." -USA Today
